The Neti Pot is a type of nasal irrigation which naturally relieves allergies, sinusitis, breathing problems, nasal congestion, post nasal drip; it can even help prevent sinus infections.
The Sanskrit term Jala neti refers to an ancient yogic cleansing technique, meaning literally "water cleansing," where the practitioner rinses out the nasal cavity with water (usually salted) using a neti pot. The technique is starting to be recognized by Western medicine under the term nasal irrigation.
When dealing with problems of congestion it can be performed up to four times a day.
The benefits of Neti Pots are;
- reduction of allergy problems
- improvement to breathing
- elimination of post-nasal drip
- elimination of sinusitis or chronic sinus infections
- moistening of dry nasal passages
- temporarily reduces symptoms of phantosmia
- common colds are either avoided or the duration greatly shortened
- general improvement to sinus health.
Yogic breathing practices known as pranayama are greatly enhanced by the practice of jala neti since many of them involve deep breathing through the nostrils.
How to Use a Neti Pot - Simple Instructions
1. Fill the Neti Pot with warm water (not hot or cold).
2. Add about 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.
3. Lean over the sink, tilt your head sideways and place the spout of the Neti Pot in the upper nostril.
4. Tilt the Neti Pot until the salt water solution flows thru the upper nostril, thru the sinus and out the other nostril. Be sure to keep your mouth open to breathe.
5. When the Neti Pot is empty, lean over the sink and exhale thru your nose, like you're blowing your nose.
6. Repeat with the other nostril.
